hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and been posting at wrong page..
Hope This is a right page I'm on.

I have a 29 gal tank and yesterday, my blood shrimp disappeared and I think my RBTA ate it..
I'm not sure if that is possible. But look like it.

And now I'm worry about my pair of snowflake clownfish, will the anemone eat them too?

Thank you so much for the time of reading this..I really need an answer.
 
Welcome to R2R. I agree it's unlikely your RBTA will eat your clownfish, assuming the clowns are healthy. A really sick and weak fish may be a different story.
 
First of all, thank you thank you so much for the kindly reply, mean a lot me. Thank you

My Rose bubble tip about 3 inch, my blood shrimp in my tank for half year and about 1 inch long.
But they were so good together..
Yesterday morning the only thing I found was shell of the head and tail.

My clownfish ..the female about 1.2 inch and the male is a bit smaller.

I feed my anemone daily with mysis shrimp.

Do u bout think the anemone ate my beautiful blood shrimp...
 
Could it be that what you saw was a molt? The shrimp may be just hiding temporarily.

No......nowhere...totally gone..that was my first shrimp in my life...
It molt 6 - 7 times before it gone.

And the anemone looks really full. It shrinked in the morning and open back up at noon:(
 
I wouldn't give up on the shrimp... sounds like it molted and went in a rock to let his new shell harden. I have a banded coral shrimp in my tank that I hardly ever see. Every month or so I'll see a molting. He's always hiding, but his antennae are at least 6" long each so he's got them poking out a hole here or there. Your clowns sound like they are safe, is the nem hosting them yet?

Thank you so much for the inspiration, I will keep my eyes open for my buddy buddy :) finger cross

No not yet... I wish they are, I bought this anemone because of my clown.
